How They May BE Cured of Some OF the
Principal Vices.
When we have succeeded in inspiring
the horse with entire confidence in him
self and in his master also, there is but
little likelihood, unless he is very nerv.
GUS or a very perverse horse, that he
will become troublesome through any
vicious act, or want of honesty. "Balk-

takes all the value out of some horses,
is undoubtedly always, or very nearly
always, chargeable to indiscreet man.

had the Observation-Disclosures after

rest without being told to do so, and
finding the rest agreeable, and the start

not to be wondered at that he forms the
habit OF stopping, and thenceforward
becomes a "balker." II, when this first

similar occasion for stopping, the danger
of having confirmed balky horse may
be averted. But when, under these cir
cumstances, the horse is hit with the
whip, and sharply reprimanded, then
look out for retaliatory effort. The
horse assumes that you are his enemy,
and from that moment he places himself
in an antagonistic position, looking
upon his master as an enemy.

SOME MOONS.

just between the dark and daylight.
When the sleepy time Is come,
And the angels hang the star lamps
In the windows OF their home;
Babies sit and watch the new moon
Rocking gaily down the sky.
Like n pretty golden milk bowl,
OR n cradle swinging high;
Then with dimpled arms uplifted,
And with shining eager eyes,
They will reach far out tn grasp 1t
Pull IL boldly from the skies.
Moons will wane and babes grow Older
Age and sorrow come too soon,
But fresh hope, and luck, returning,
Shine with every baby moon.
In the melancholy dimness
OF the half moons CHASTITY light
Poets walk abroad and ponder,
List'ning to the voice of night.
DO they dream of future glory9
OF a name to last for aye!
DO they plan wondrous poem
To be written out some dayT
No one knows, but late and weary
Poets wander thro' the night
While the dim. and dreary half moon
Sheds on them pale sad light
Poets songs may die unuttered.
Earth may never hear their strain,
But above, where thoughts are treasured
They shall find their songs again.
When the great round moon is bcaming
With tender golden light,
Lovers seeking deep cool shadows
Walk together thro' the night.
Just the old, old story over,
For thousand times or more,
And as sweet to- day-to- morrow
As IL ever was oil yore.
Out OF shadow into moonlight,
Dreaming of the life before you,
Wander on ye happy lovers,
May the great moon long shine DER you
Happy careless days OF childhood
Cannot stay;
Golden visions OF the poet
Pass away.
love will rule the world for ever
And day.
